From Trevor Wilson


To all Sandpipers,
                                   Can I please take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the future and thank you for the past five years. Sue and I have a busy few weeks ahead of us, so I'm not sure if I will be able to get up to the golf club before we head South. As with most groups of people not everyone is going to see eye to eye with everyone, but I would like to say that 95% of you, I have enjoyed your company and friendship.
 I hope the Sandpipers continue, because when I joined the golf club and was able to join the Sandpipers it enabled me to meet many more members than I probably would have, if I was just an ordinary member.
The one area that has puzzled and frustrated me greatly since joining the club, was the attitude towards the Sandpipers from some of the main club committee members, then and now, it is my experience from my previous clubs (I say clubs in plural as I've had to change clubs through work commitments) in the South that Senior sections are an integral part of a successful golf club. Because of the clicks (most of you know who they are) within the club I do not see this changing in the foreseeable future, which is a real shame and a very narrow minded way of thinking.
Anyway I leave with mostly good memories and I hope it takes a while before you say " ah yes that chap from down South, blimey I cannot remember his name".
Happy 2013 to you, your wives, partners & families.
Trevor

All the best, Trevor. I will not forget that last game in a hurry! It should be said that you have been one who gave the club at least as much as you took. All credit to you. Mike M (the one with the red hat).
